This paper demonstrates the importance of properly measuring inflation when estimating Federal Reserve reaction functions. Based on static Taylor rule type reaction functions the median consumer price index (MCPI) is a better measure of information on monetary inflation than either the consumer price index (CPI) or the GDP chain-type price index (CTPI) or several other common measures of inflation. The issue is important when attempting to assess the stance of monetary policy; the Federal Reserve's goal of maintaining price stability must account for movements in the overall price-level and not changes in relative price.
